Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). While the oven is heating up, gather all the ingredients, and prepare the toppings.

  • Now, add the toppings. Be creative with this step! Sprinkle diced tomatoes, diced green peppers, and chopped spinach or arugula evenly over the egg mixture. Or, use flavor option two with tomatoes, olives, red onions, and spianch. Feel free to add other ingredients like diced onions, mushrooms, or cooked bacon if desired. NOTE: If using flavor option three, sauté the shallots and spinach in a skillet until the spinach wilts before combining the ingredients.
